You&#8217;ll also have access to a Discord chat channel where you can discuss with your fellow students, and where I&#8217;ll check in daily to answer questions throughout the session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To begin the hands-on exercises, you will need a stick or a pencil, and some spinnable fiber, ideally wool, although you can work with any fiber you are able to find.
